There are so many mobile phone lenses, do you know what's the use? Most of the shots are decorations.

Smartphones have developed for more than ten years and have experienced design changes again and again. Up to now, although there has been a great breakthrough in the update, basically no mobile phone can really get the praise of users 100%.

Recently, foreign media GSMArena selected "the worst mobile phone design of the year". After some fierce competition, the "makeup lens" topped the list with 25.74% of the votes, making it the worst design in 2020.

There should be many people who don't know what "makeup lens" refers to. Remake is a lens that mobile phone manufacturers force to add another selling point to their mobile phones.

Nowadays, mobile phones are generally equipped with three or four lenses, and only one or two can really be used.

There are generally six kinds of cameras, which are classified according to importance, namely main lens, telephoto lens, wide-angle lens, macro lens, depth of field lens and ToF lens.

Main camera lens: it is the most important mobile phone lens, and there is no one. In addition to having a great impact on the final imaging effect, it also determines the use scenarios of more than 90% of most people taking photos with their mobile phones.

Telephoto lens: a lens that narrows the field of vision and brings the distant scene closer, which existed in the period of dual-camera mobile phones.

Wide-angle lens: A popular lens in recent years, which can accommodate more scenery in the lens. Photographers need certain photographic skills to take very interesting photos.

Macro lens: it is also a lens that has only appeared in recent years. It can enlarge the details of the object and see a clear vein. However, this function is not used frequently in life.

Depth of field lens: a lens that highlights the subject by blurring the background, or takes a clear background and does not participate in imaging. However, because telephoto can also achieve a certain blurring effect, flagship models are rarely equipped.

ToF lens: It is a functional camera, which can realize ranging and enhance the AR function.

After understanding the role of these six lenses, I believe you have understood the importance of these lenses. Let's recall, is it that only the main camera and telephoto are commonly used in daily use, and the ultra-wide angle is occasionally used outside, and other lenses are basically unused?

At present, mobile phones and 1000 yuan entry machines are all 3 cameras, and the cost is controlled there. The effect of the lens is very weak, and it is less practical for users.

Of course, saying that the lenses of mobile phones make up the number does not mean that these mobile phones have no purchase value. After all, buying a mobile phone depends on the overall configuration and price. As long as you don't value the lens and other aspects can meet the demand, that's fine.

The worst mobile phone design selected by foreign media is "the number of complementary lenses", so which aspect of mobile phone design do you think is the worst?
